From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@xxxxxxxxxx> When rteval is called via the command line, cpulists for both measurements and loads default to an empty string and are further processed by parse_cpulist_from_config. However, this is not true when rteval is used as a module: in that case, neither the default command-line value is used nor parse_cpulist_from_config is run, leading to None being set to the config property of measurements which is explicitely passed down to the corresponding cyclictest config property. The issue was introduced in 64ce7848dfab ("rteval: Add relative cpulists for measurements"), where the check for None was removed from the cyclictest module, assuming the value was processed by parse_cpulist_from_config. Avoid this by calling parse_cpulist_from_config with an empty string to get the default cpulist to pass to cyclictest module if cpulist is empty in the measurement config. Note: this is a workaround, in the future, parse_cpulist_from_config will be called properly in one place only instead of being scattered throughout the code of rteval. That will also enable relative cpulists to be used when calling rteval as a module.
